The people is a tragic and comic Uvo-face:
hero and hoodlum: phantom and gorilla twist-

buy me and sell me . . . it's a game . . .
sometime I'll break loose . . .

ie margins of animal necessity,
le grim line of sheer subsistence

■ Then man came

To the deeper rituals of his bones,
To the lights lighter than any bones,
To the time for thinking things over,
To the dance, the song, the story,
-Or the hours given over to dreaming,

■ Once having so marched.

The people is a polychrome,

a console organ of changing themes,

a clavilux of color poems

wherein the sea offers fog

and the labrador sunset shortens-

The annual staff, on be-
half of the students and
faculty, dedicates the
1973-74 CAROLANA to
our director, Dr, Olin
Sansbury, Jr. The an-
nouncement of Dr. Sans-
bury as permanent di-

made on February 27,
His work with and for
USC-S this year has
greatly benefited both
students and faculty. We
feel that his influence
will continue to benefit
our school and the com-
munity as we continue
to grow.

SANSBURY

Dear USC-S students:
The University of South Carolina-Spar
tanburg reached an important
milestone in 1973-74, ful-
filling the enrollment
requirements for ad-
ding junior level
coursework. All
signs indicate
that next fall,
USC-S wai
achieve the
necessary en-
rollment for
adding sen-
ior level
coursework,
meaning that
many of you
now enrolled
will be able
to earn a bac -
cal aureate de-
gree on this
campus.

In addition to an
expanding academ-
ic program, USC-3
is also developing a
stronger and more
varied array of extra-
curricular activities,
seeking to create a rn^
complete coUe

community. Although this is sometimes
difficult on a commuter campus,
thanks to your efforts, and
the efforts of a talented
faculty -staff, our goal
is becoming a real-
ity,

is an excitin

time to be a'
part of thei
USC-S comr
munity anc
we hope thai
you will al-
ways feel a
sense of
pride at
being dt.
member oP
this com-
munity, now
and in the
future.

Sincerely,
Olin B. Sans-
bury, Jr.

The university administra-
tion keeps close contact
with the regional campus-
es. These officials ad-
minister to USC-S and co-
ordinate our activities with
the university in Columbia.
USC-S appreciates their
presence and involvement
in such activities as the
Palmetto Athletic Confer-
ence Tournament, Dr.
Sansbury's permanent ap-
pointment as director of
the Spartanburg Regional
Campus, and graduation.

Spring '74 registration brought
an enrollment of 915 under-
graduate students and 530
graduate students. Plans to in-
troduce junior level courses in
the fall continued as a result
of acquiring over 700 full -time -
equivalent students in the fall.
This plan operates under the
1972 legislation which states
that when a post secondary ed-
ucation school reaches an en-
rollment of 700 students, jun-
ior level courses may be add-
ed, and that when the school
reaches an enrollment of 1,000
students, senior level courses
may be added.

The problems of a com-
muter school are many,
and the Spartanburg
Regional Campus has its
share. But the adminis-
tration, faculty, and stu-
dents worked hard this
year in solving some of
them. Car pool lists and
recruitment activities
are two good examples of
this kind of effective
cooperation. At the end of
first semester, car pool
lists were made available
in the Hodge Center Lobby.
Covering a ten-region
breakdown of Spartanburg
and surrounding areas,
these lists of names helped

students know and contact
other students as possi-
bilities for forming car
pools.

Recruitment activities in-
cluded committee meet-
ings, visits to high
schools, a "Send a Friend
to College" ad, a recruit-
ment rally, letters to
high school seniors, and
television and radio pro-
grams. We thank the com-
mittee for its service to
USC-S, and the results of
its work will be seen not
only in 1974-75, but also
in the many years ahead
as we continue to grow.

THE PURPLE KEG

econd semester brought many new activities and
deas at USC-S. One of these was the creation of
"he Purple Keg and the appearance of alcoholic
leverages on our campus. On Friday, January 25,
he Hodge Center lobby was turned into the set-
ing for an informal party complete with free beer,
ancing, guitar -strumming, banjo -picking, and
iano-playing. With entertainment by Tommy Sar-
att, Danny Wilson, Bruce Cash, Walker Copley,
eau Long, Barney Barnwell, Steve Kellett, and
arry Smith, the crowd enjoyed themselves by
iinging and dancing. It wasn't long before they
3und themselves square-dancing, complete with
winging their partner, 3 different circles, and
lenty of mix-ups. The creation of The Purple Keg

The 1974 Palmetto Ath-
letic Conference Tour-
nament was an important
turning point in the con-
ference and for the Spar-
tanburg Regional Cam-
pus, The tournament was
hosted in Spartanburg for
the first time ever and
was won by USC-Spar-
tanburg for the first time
ever also. Through the
many valuable efforts of
faculty, staff and students,
a smooth efficient tour-
nament was carried off
with few distractions
from a group of fine bas-
ketball games. The team
provided the spark of life
that hopefully will grow
and help to develop the
pride and spirit that are
so essential to the build-
ing of a great school.

Coach Joe Bowman

use -Spartanburg experi-
enced two firsts as the host
of and the champions of
the Palmetto Athletic Con-
ference Tournament held
on February 21-23. After
victories over USC-Sal-
kehatchie and USC- Lan-
caster on Thursday and
Friday nights, the Rifles
fought a neck-to-neck bat-
tle with the Aiken team.
The victory was uncertain
until J. C. Humphries,
the Rifles' star forward,
was thrown out on a fla-
grant foul. This seemed
to fire up the Rifles and
lead them to the unex-
pected win of 68-63. We
upset the Pacers and be-
came NUMBER ONE.

The Miss PAC crowning
was held during half time
of the championship game
with Margaret McNeil from
USC -Union capturing the
honor. Runnerups were
Miss Salkehatchie and Miss
Sumter. Judy Odom, es-
corted by Tim Corbin,
represented USC -Spar-
tanburg in the contest.
After the game, various
awards were given to the
teams and individual play-
ers. Robert "Chief" Smith,
the Rifles' high scorer of
the game, was voted the
tournament's "Most Val-
uable Player. " The tour-
nament was also high-
lighted by a coaches'
breakfast, a press lunch-
eon and a directors' and
coaches' golf match at
Lan-Yair Country Club.
A dance was held for USC
students with "Horseheads"
from Aiken performing.

collegiate competition at
a national level for small
schools. Six teams played
in the conference and in-
dependent divisions. The
Spartan Rifles blasted the

use -Lancaster Lancers
85-70 on Friday with
Chuck Evans totaling 28
points. But Saturday night
witnessed another story
for the Rifles as they met
the Aiken Pacers for the
national conference berth.

The lead changed hands
21 times, with the score
tied up seven times before
the Pacers finally broke
loose in the last six and
one -half minutes. With
20

foul trouble for the Ri-
fles and good free
throws for the Aiken
team, they won the game,
74-70. Although Coach
Bowman questioned the
officiating, the referees
prevailed. The game
left the Rifles with an
19-7 overall record this
year, the school's
best ever. CONGRAT-
ULATIONS! Thanks
for a great season.

BLACK
WEEK

For the first time, the Afro-American clubs from Wof-
ford College, Spartanburg TEC and USC-S presented a
combined Black Week on March 11-17. i^

With each school given a specific night to present its
activity, USC-S began the week with a fashion show. The

the Spartanburg area, included Linda Burgess, Cynthia
Raid, Tony Caruso, Diane Maybin, Vicki Vigneault, Lin-
da Smith, Robin Smith, Elizabeth Robinson, and Al Gray,
USC-S Assistant Admissions Officer and Veteran Coordi-

cluded entertainment by the Henderson-Davis Players of
S. C. State College and speeches by Dr. Cone, Dr. Proc-
tor, and Rep. Ernest A. Finney. The main attraction,
held Saturday night, was "Black Expo '74, " a dance fea-
turing PAIN from Spartanburg. Michael Blythe, a USC-S
freshman, is a member of the band.

He Flies' Through The Air
Testing New 'Bat-Glider'

One spectator joshed, "It's a

"No, it's a plane " Actually, it
was just mild-mannered, BiU
Barnes test flying his new hang-
glider.

Barnes was airborne tune
after time, as he dashed dtmn
the side of a gentle slope.

clutching a 75 foot cable at-
tached to the bumper of a
speeding car.

Hanging like a gigantic,
transparent dragonfly, he stood
silhouetted against the gray,
afternoon sky, ready to swoop
down in his self-proclaimed
"twtrglider" and conquer the

world stretched out beneath
him.

Conquer he might and fly he
muit, but Monday morning he'll
be back in the classroom
leaching physics and

engineering to students at USC-
Spartanburg

In fact, the UKO served more

tlian just satisfaction for an
adventuring spirit It was a
class project designed to
demonstrate the laws of physics
and aerodynamics

The "bal-glider" is, iu reality,
a RuguUu wiug, named for a
NASA engineer in search of a
mettiud tu land low-speed, re-
entry vehicles on the earth's
surface, rather than in the
oceans.

For the wing's frame, Barnes
used sturdy pieces of bamboo,
cut by his students in a ttucket
near Woodruff. The bamboo
was covered with tightly
wrapped sheets of thick plastic
and bound with heavy tape.

The pilot supports himself by
draping his arms over two poles
which run parallel to the keel.
The dimensions are about 20 x
23 feet, and the craft weighs
nearly 80 pounds.

Barnes and seven uf his
students built the glider last
week in the lobby of the Hodge
Center in about eight hours for
less than )25.

Testing began last Monday
afternoon on the USC-S campus
when Barnes judged the winds
to be right. He says a 20 mph
wind IS ideal, pernutting the
wing to glide between five and
10 feet off the ground.

Two students help to guide tlie
glinder during takeoff, and then
It's up to the pilot to control the
flight altitude by shifUng his
body weight from one position
to another.

If there is uncertainty about
going up, there is none about
coming down.

Barnes admits that landing is
Uie hardest part, "bf< ause your
U'g!i buckle and } our knees turn
into skids."

"Avoiding serious injury is

adds, sii he wears a iimtorcyi le

ceived a Bachelor of

which was the first
baccalaureate degree
awarded at USC-S. Even
as the year came to a
close, our school was
experiencing another first
and demonstrating its con-
tinual growth.

Now that the end has come, my hope is that you feel this yearbook has reflected you and
your school during 1973-74. Without the help of a few dedicated people, these reflections
would not have been possible. A special thanks goes to Miss Judy Sessions, advisor of
the CAROLANA, and to Mr. Tom Davis, Director of Student Affairs. Thank you, news-
paper staff, for bearing with me and sharing the publications room. My thanks also goes
to Mr. Fred Bostrom and Jostens American Yearbook Company for putting up with such
a weird editor. And to the faithful few photographers who stuck it out to the very end, 1
am forever grateful. We have our own reflections - 4:00 a.m. , impossible deadlines,
curly pictures, pizzas, rolling chairs, keys, and spades over the trash can. It was all
worthwhile.
